Table 2 The deposition of salbutamol in each area measured by the two-stage impinger model.
From: Experimental research on surface acoustic wave microfluidic atomization for drug delivery
Area | Aerodynamic diameter (μm) | Salbutamol particle collected (mg) |
|---|---|---|
Oral area ( A) | > 6.4 | 0.75 ± 0.1 |
Throat area (B) | > 6.4 | 0.12 ± 0.1 |
Lung area (C1 + C2) | < 6.4 | 0.53 ± 0.08 |
Emitted salbutamol dose | 1.4 mg ± 0.1 | |
FPD < 6. 4 μm | 0.53 mg ± 0.08 |
